About our cover designs:
Our strategic differentiator Inclusive, diverse and bionic, is depicted on the cover as a fingerprint, with small markings that signify computer code. As technology becomes ever more capable and powerful, the fear exists of the possible loss of human individuality, the loss of our independent spirit. The design reminds us what this strategic differentiator points to, the potential for humanity to be enhanced through using technology ("bionic"), and the potential for uniqueness and diverse individual identity to find its expression in service to our vision and purpose. We value the contributions of our employees (each having left their unique "fingerprint" on our business) and we honour their commitment to our values, which ripples out, amplifying the Group's capacity to innovate and evolve.

- The FTSE Russell green revenue factor is defined by FTSE Russell as the percentage of revenue that is derived from products that have a positive environmental utility which help prevent, restore and/or adapt to issues deriving from climate change, natural resource limitations and environmental degradation. This measure enables precise identification of green products and services across the entire value chain and helps investors assess revenue exposure to green activities within the Group. Based on the criteria developed by FTSE Russel, Sibanye-Stillwater utilised revenue from the following operations in determining its FTSE Russell green revenue factor: SA gold (limited to the Cooke operation); SA PGMs (excluding Mimosa); and US PGMs (including recycling). The FTSE Russell green revenue factor is a non-IFRS measure and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards

OUR PURPOSE, VISION, STRATEGY AND VALUES
TO SAFEGUARD GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH OUR METALS | ||
OUR PURPOSE | This purpose statement reflects our aspiration to make a positive social and environmental | |
impact through the commodities we mine and produce (green metals) and how we do so | ||
(ESG embedded as the way we do business), not least through our role in contributing | ||
to decarbonising the global economy. | ||
- | > | < | G | 'b |
OUR VISION
OUR STRATEGY
TO BE A LEADER IN SUPERIOR SHARED VALUE FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS
This vision statement speaks to our conviction that responsibly-derived minerals (mining that minimises harm to people and the planet) are the source of significant economic, social and environmental benefit to society, both globally and locally.
Our strategy speaks to our ambition to secure for the Group a position in the global resources sector as a progressive, forward-thinking provider of green metals
and energy solutions.
Our strategy has a three-dimensional approach, in which our priorities are layered in terms of: strategic foundation; strategic essentials; strategic differentiators. We unpack our strategy on page 48 of the 2023 Integrated report.
THE CONTEXT FOR OUR STRATEGY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a world with increasing volatility and an accelerating pace of change, we recognise that the future is inherently uncertain with levels of strategic risk elevating. This is the basis of both threats and opportunities for our business. Anticipation through monitoring of early signals combined with agility in positioning of the business using anti-fragilityprinciples enables us to seize advantage through active engagement with critical risks, (see External environment for our business and operations on page 36 of the 2023 Integrated report)
- Decarbonisation is a key concern for governments and businesses across the world. In response, the world's energy mix is moving towards reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We expect that current trends toward nuclear power, renewable energy (wind, solar, battery storage), green hydrogen, and the electrification of mobility, will intensify. Our response is to build a Unique portfolio of green metals and energy solutions that reverse climate change, contributing towards the world's critical needs
- Geopolitical developments are changing allegiances and trading patterns across the world, with national elections scheduled to take place in 64 countries in 2024 likely to further impact foreign policies and geopolitics. Security of supply is becoming a stronger priority, for nations and for regional blocs, with the integrity of critical minerals value chains of significant importance. This presents key opportunities for the Group to differentiate its offer, partnering to Build pandemic-resilientecosystems that are invulnerable to geopolitical developments
- Intelligent advances are accelerating, with digital technologies fulfilling an increasing role in every facet of life. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence provide massive transformative opportunities, while also raising a new spectrum of ethical issues.
This presents opportunities to "rewire" our business to embrace new capabilities and augment human performance through technology taking key business outcomes to a different level. We are committed to our quest to become Inclusive, diverse and bionic as a strategic differentiator - While divisions are starting to emerge, stakeholder expectations of business are placing continued high levels of scrutiny on ESG and sustainability credentials. We believe that the most successful businesses will be those that earn stakeholder credibility by demonstrating meaningful socioeconomic purpose beyond the delivery of returns to their shareholders. We recognise this as an opportunity to distinguish ourselves in the market by being Recognised as a force for good, and thereby strategically differentiating ourselves by creating superior shared value through our business activities. This underscores our commitment to stakeholder capitalism
We use the term "grey elephants" (see page 35 of the Integrated report for more detail) to refer to highly-probable,high-impact, yet often neglected catalysts of change that are shaping the 2020s; events with global repercussions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the conflicts in the Middle East.
While the grey elephants signal disruption and threat to conventional business activity, they also present significant opportunities for organisations that embrace the future, and are bold and agile enough to capture the moment. Early awareness of grey elephants and decisive strategic responses are required to sustain business effectiveness.

UNPACKING OUR THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRATEGY
OUR STRATEGIC FOUNDATION
This defines the impact we aspire to make in the global economy and in local societies influenced by our operations; it is the difference our business makes. It embraces our purpose, vision and values, as well as the core principles that guide our decisions, including our commitment to ESG excellence and shared value. Our Umdoni tree is at the heart of our strategic foundation and represents our fundamental approach to business.
The Sibanye-Stillwater Umdoni tree symbolises our approach to stakeholder capitalism.
The roots of the tree hold our values, signifying that below the surface of success and competition, Sibanye-Stillwater iCARES.
- | > | < | G | 'b |
We represent our business ethos through the indigenous South African Umdoni tree
our values are the fundamental roots of our organisation, which provide a solid basis for the way we do business
the trunk of the tree (our people) represents the material strength of the company
the leaves on the branches represent all our stakeholders
the tree's seeds and fruits signify the varying benefits
and value that our success will bring to those stakeholders
Our roots, our iCARES values, are at the heart of all that we do, the decisions we make and how we conduct our business. These values are enshrined in our Code of ethics and form the basis of the organisational growth and culture rejuvenation programme currently underway.

ANCILLARY INFORMATION

Future trends identified - as illustrated by the grey elephants:
We have been tracking how the grey elephants are shaping the context for our business since our 2020 integrated report. The grey elephants cover seven major global trends that we expect to have a pronounced impact on the fabric of global society and the global economy. Acute disruptive events with global implications, which we have characterised as pandemics, are an important additional component of the grey elephant framework. Such events have a dramatic impact on society and the economy, creating conditions conducive to change and stimulating acceleration in the major global trends represented by the other grey elephants.
The graphic below identifies how the grey elephants have played out in 2023, with a focus on aspects of relevance to our business activities. These developments validate the grey elephants as a compelling framework through which to anticipate the future world in which we will operate and conduct business, assisting us in remaining relevant to future conditions.
Generative artificial intelligence emerged into general application in 2023 with adoption at an unprecedented rate. These developments have profound implication with business needing to establish frameworks for responsible use to leverage benefits of the technology.
Economies are not responding in the expected way to central bank interventions with strong economic activity continuing despite high interest rate environments. This is one of the key factors causing distortions in commodity markets.
Allegiances are shifting in response to geopolitical developments and as foreign policies evolve across the world with significant implications for critical minerals supply chains. Many African countries are in a unique position as part of a non- aligned region with relatively undeveloped significant mineral resources.
The voice of society is becoming stronger fuelled, despite censorship, by abundant availability of information much of which is unverified or propagated by influencers through social media. While national elections will take place in a record 64 countries in 2024, alternative platforms for expression are increasingly being utilised.
Adapting culture and strategy to navigate the grey elephants sharply transforming the world
Confidence in the supply of critical resources is under threat with increasing disruption to global supply chains. As a result, many nations are seeking to reduce dependence on dominant sources and gain control of their own assured supply channels.
Departures from traditional demographic age profiles are influencing national competitiveness in many parts of the world with associated changes in social dynamics.
2023 was the warmest year on record with an increasing number of extreme weather events and sustained shifts in local climates. Impetus towards establishment of a global clean energy economy is building.
Sentiment is divided on whether commercial incentives are a key element in catalysing social advancement by stimulating economic growth through at risk investment that promotes innovation. The most successful economies are those that recognise the value generated by private capital with an ability to earn strong financial returns coupled with a commitment to sustainability.
